expanding on that,

if we store the metadata, where do we store it? on filecoin itself, locally, some hybrid solution?
how do I reference the data when pulling it out? what if I ran filecoin storefile a.zip twice where a.zip where two different files?

This is a great fundamental UX question, I would add:

Do we want users to store bytes or do we want users to store files and folders (filesystem)?
Is Filecoin a lower lever or a higher lever protocol? Meaning:
- Should the core functionalities should only support the byte level interactions (and then one could build on top higher level interactions?)
- or, Should the core functionalities ALSO support higher level interactions (such as storing files and folders)?
